Topic: Anyone free to help me run a couple of tests?

[Bonk]

Logging in now...

[Bonk]

I guess mid-weekday is not exactly a good time... I'll leave it in test mode and try again tonight.

[GDA-S'Cipio]

A question I should already know the answer to.....

Is The Forge running on flatfile or SQL?  (I'm remembering it as being SQL, but I'm not positive.)

SQL

[Bonk]

Yup, SQL, but this code is indpendent of the database type.

Just as well I didn't get any testing done earlier today, I want to tweak the code a bit more to make it more efficient before I test it again in about an hour.

[FPF-DieHard]

Yup, SQL, but this code is indpendent of the database type.

OMG!   You mean my hamster-in cage-run servers could have this feature?

[Bonk]

Yup, should work fine on the flatfile, I just happen to be testing it on an SQL server because it is convenient.

[Bonk]

Ready for more tests, I'll login in about 5 minutes.

It will only take a few minutes to run the necessary tests to find out if I've got it right and have the desired behaviour.

[Bonk]

Lepton and I just completed another succesful round of tests. (Thanks dude!  )

The alliances/tensions approach I am using now seems to work fine and the code is more efficient, and will also allow for the possibilty of adding different DV shifts for 2vs1, 3vs2 etc... (with some effort). I'm happy with this for now. It will take some additional testing to be sure it is working consistently with various combinatons of empires and cartels at different tensions... Mandatories are back on but the PvP DV shift of three is still active on The Forge for additional testing.

Looks good... Going to do a db clean on The Forge before I bring it back up.

Webmap logs of the above battles attached.

[Bonk]

It occurs to me it needs some 2vs1, 2vs2 (etc) tests.

[GDA-S'Cipio]

Yup, should work fine on the flatfile, I just happen to be testing it on an SQL server because it is convenient.

 

Bonk, you da man!   (I wonder if this is enough to get GDA-Keltset out of retirement?)

-S'Cipio

[Bonk]

I had some ideas this morning to refine it further (better integrate it into the existing code, and add the possibility for different DV shifts based on the number of players on each side of a mission). This change is not in our mandate for work on the serverkit, but I could not help myself, I saw a real need for this. I really should get back to work on what we're supposed to be doing with it but I think I will refine and test this a bit more before I do however...

P.S. I think I found the info necessary to decode the current tensions in the db... its weird stuff.

[GDA-S'Cipio]

P.S. I think I found the info necessary to decode the current tensions in the db... its weird stuff.

You mean to allow racial tensions to shift up or down, depending upon what players do on the server?

-S'Cipio

No, I don't mean finishing/fixing the existing code in the kit that was supposed to do that, but rather just compile the information necessary for us to at least be able to read/edit the current political tensions in our webmap and db editor applications.

so not player on the fly changes, but admin on the fly(with reboot) changes?

[Bonk]

Yes (possibly no reboot needed on SQL), but we're not quite there yet, I think I have found the info to figure it out though.
